Fernie Rocky Mountain Ski Resort
Location: Canada / British Columbia / Fernie Ref No: 100/4427 Type: Apartment Price: € 275,812 ( £ 240,000 ) Bedrooms: 2 Bathrooms: 1 |

Property Description:
All properties are freehold
There are 575 apartments in the village core – each one 853 square feet – 2 bedrooms
Fernie has been likened to Argentière without glaciers, a wonderfully challenging ski area in a lovely corner of British Columbia that has the topographical potential to become the new Whistler. International powder hounds tend to rate Fernie in their top five destinations in North America. Few destinations can offer such premium pistes and powder within the infrastructure of a modern ski village that is backed by all the charm and historical association of an attractive Victorian railway town.
The current lift infrastructure has the ability to move approximately 12,000 people per hour whilst the present resort configuration can only accommodate approximately 4,500.
Today Fernie is over two and a half hours from the nearest airport of Calgary but with the extended facilities of Cranbrook airport from 2009, this travel time will reduce to about 40 minutes and will see the arrival of low cost air carriers.
Over the past ten years this small and once unfashionable resort has achieved pipe-dream fame as luxurious apartment blocks and mountain homes sprouted around the ski village.
Real estate developers have now started on a CDN$1.5 billion development between the ski area and the old town that is the setting for a Greg Norman championship golf course due to open in 2007. To their surprise and delight 30 of the first 50 homes attracted British buyers. Nearby Cranbrook airport has got the go-ahead to increase its runway to take large airliners, and the whole region looks set for its biggest boom since the 19th century Gold Rush.
The new Cranbrook airfield facility will result in a further expansion of Fernie as a ski Resort, as 1000 acres of mountains are converted to Ski and new developments. New ski runs, an extended gondola system, plus a Greg Norman signature golf course, all make this a great exciting investment opportunity.
